11:00 pm
here was first a message on our team. on larry king now actor host an adventure seeker dominic monaghan whole of my passions are in this show travel people new languages new food new experiences animals got to a point in my career where i thought you know i can either wait for the phone to ring or i can do something on his love of creatures i keep a lot reptiles i mean my favorite type of animal in the world is insects so i tend to lean towards the slightly weird ones and those are also the animals that have the biggest reaction of people on being a geek yeah i'm an animal gaikai manchester united i'm a travel geek. honest i'm a buffalo wing geek. what else plus your character good skill don't tally. we'll all next on larry king now.
11:01 pm
blogger larry king now you came to love as the hobbit mary in the lord of the rings trilogy as boldin x. a bad origin's wolverine and as rocker charlie plays on the hit series lost currently taking us around the world in season two of b.b.c. america's wild things with dominic monaghan which premieres march twenty fifth ten pm eastern that's eastern standard time what is this affinity for animals that people are afraid of. why do you do this well i like animals in general you know i'm interested in the world and now it works in the animals that live in and animals that we share our planet with it could very easily have been in a show where i tell stories about animals people no i do like lions and polar bears and tigers and bears but those stories of kind of been told i keep
11:02 pm
a lot reptiles in my favorite type of animal in the world is insects so i tend to lean towards the slightly weird ones and those are also the animals that have the biggest reaction of people you're a little weird right. what's what's the concept of the show the concept of the show is that i travel around the world and tensions change people's ideas about animals that most people are scared of by looking for a particular target animal that might be seen as being a little bit scary a snake a spider a scorpion a centipede and showing that with a certain amount of respect you can spend time with these animals and hang out with and and still have a great experience you know just because something is dangerous or potentially lethal doesn't make it any less important why do you think you like inside us and say it's the most successful animal on the planet they live on you're the every consonant apart from the poles there's more to some of them says mime ways that we are you know i mean obviously we're intellectually smart brain is evolved bodies kind of been neglected by insects are small in ways that they need to stay alive
11:03 pm
they tend to look after the. own a tense and not cause carbon footprint they don't leave a huge amount of waste. in numerous they can survive a lot of things that we constantly you know i like to have a little clip from wild things with dominic monaghan let's watch this a large brown spitting cobra. is my first encounter with a speaking cobra and before i get too close i want to see just how good a marksman really is so while charlie holds a. body. just about spin. along when these guys build brand. just spin and spin they have a huge quantity. of diluted facto toxic that and the reason why
11:04 pm
it's diluted he said. nice to see that how do you know so much about them i read about him i learn about him i spend a lot of time reading you know i have things in my life that i'm obsessed of i'm a big manchester united fan i'm a big fan of travel and street food and the other thing that i really like is animals in my house and animal books and he's successful actor you've been successful series you've had a great career well why would you take this on this danger in that you narrated this is not i would imagine the highest paying job in writer and you could make more starring in the television series so the obvious why was something i'm really passionate about you know i mean i'm passionate about these things all of my passions are in this show travel people new languages new things new experiences animals because i'm one of the creators of the show because i'm one of the produce of the show i get a little bit more control over what we do where we go what you see i'm up with the idea right so that helps me to have a little bit more control i got to
11:05 pm
a point my career where i thought you know i can either wait for the phone to ring or i can do something about this. some of these animals in dangerous missions yeah we go this year to look for the giant japanese salamander that's an endangered and fabian the largest something being in the world we go in the first season to look for one of the rarest beetles in the world actually went to costa rica to look for the largest between the world of which it's so rare they've never found a juvenile or a female only male so we went to try and find the female so some very recreated spider contact and i always remember. the obama administration announced in february but they're going to ban most of the commercial trade of ivory tusks and right or those you buy that yeah absolutely i mean that's a that's a great thing you know we were lucky enough to witness emergency surgery on an elf in africa in kenya and one of the saddest things to see is that the poachers will actually just fire them with arrows but they don't expect that the arrows are going to kill one of them they think that maybe forty or fifty arrows will kill an
11:06 pm
elephant so every night for fifty nights these poachers will go out and just put one arrow in an elephant and then go back so for six weeks these elephants are just slowly dying so i mean and that's great and you also see these rhinos running around kenya that own stuff and they're alive for a couple of days before they succumb to blood loss you know in a world of capitalism why should we care about endangered species well they're important because they exist you know i mean the vast majority of animals on our planet have become extinct over ninety nine percent of the animals that ever lived on planet earth are now extinct really yeah we are in a very small group of animals that we give you knock him off right and they get knocked off naturally a lot of animals just die out naturally you know but a lot of these animals are being put under pressure from of the the interesting thing for me at least the beautiful thing about ivory is that it's attached to the animal that's what i found so valuable about elephants tusker and run its own as soon as you several from the animal the beautiful animal has no value so i mean i
11:07 pm
don't think there's that much real. monetary value in ivory how do you know where to go well we sit down and have production means at the start of each season and i kind of pitch the crew the animals that i want to go and see and where i think they are and then the crew will go away the research team and they'll say you know this is pratt's go this doesn't work because it's the wrong season this animals actually moved to this other world and then moved build a show around you had a species of spider named after you yeah i was lucky enough to be in laos. a year or two ago and i was with a biologist who he and i were collecting spiders outside a cave and he said if i find something in this new you can name it because if you find something you know allowed to name after yourself as a folk in the biology world so a couple months later he said it was a new species do you want to name it the dominic spider and i said oh no name it the monahan spider so that's called immortality you were star wars from that you
11:08 pm
were a viewer of early star wars were fanatic about it you have a huge star wars fan. you know i was born in seventy six a came out in seventy seven time i was five or six i got warts and passed right back first then watched star wars and when i watched harrison ford play indiana jones i realized it was a job and that's when i thought i wanted to be an actor this is actually a star was that it says luminous beings are we not this created matter that's a quote from yoda to try to get a light the mythology of it and i like the escapism of it and i think it deals with i think j. r. r. tolkien said there's only a few stories that you can tell you know there's not that many stories and it's a universal story you know how the decisions you make affect the rest of your life whether you turn to the dark side alone can say j.j. abrams who understands a friend of yours is going to direct what the serve a purpose of the movie going to be in it i don't think so i mean of him oh no i don't think i've hit him up enough times now that i don't these going to happen is your friend and he won't push it yeah but he gave me some pretty good reasons as to
11:09 pm
why it isn't think like it was well he wants to avoid. casting people that people know he wants to do like the original casting of mark hamill in calif ition house and ford before they were known he doesn't want to put people in the style his universe the people might have regular hours of the. day he won't be in seven i think he might be because he has the right to be in there because he's no stripes but in terms of put in other cast he wants unknown's i think that's fine i don't mind i would change it some point i'm not mad at him i am actually quite mad at him but just in talent for six seasons loss was one of the most talked about phenomena on t.v. why did last work. i'm not sure i mean i think it was really well written and in the casting was was pretty fantastic to get the part i met j.j. and we talked about money and ideas it and bill hicks and comedians that we goofed off on and i think by the time i left the me in the years like ok i'll see you next
11:10 pm
week so i kind of figured it i think it was just very well written a great pilot episode and it was a great premise you know it was everyone wonders what how they got there what happened what you know how they met the how they got themselves into this place on this and i think a risk with a series like that because it's continuing so if you don't buy it first you don't get to watch it again i mean you got to go with it right away yeah and it was also one of the last shows on t.v. that you had to shoot into nowadays with t.v. it's all on demand and you can watch it on d.v.d. or watch it online this is one of the last shows the every wednesday night you had to watch it was you missed correct your courage to get killed in the third season on on talent. i'm scanning. this world while you do it and they don't tell us what why or how do you feel about that i felt ok about i mean i got iraq literally yeah he died heroically he died kind of saving the rest of the
11:11 pm
people he drowned in sending the message while he was drowning which saved the rest of the people's lives i think it was a great opportunity for me to get a nice crack of the whip i mean i was essentially like holding on to the baby and walking up and down on the beach for a season and i just was bored of that and then damon lindelof who wrote most of the shows and said look we found a great way to write for you but it kind of has you leaving the show and i'm sure you're happy and unhappy right it was a combination of yeah i was a combination that i wanted to make in effect i wanted to effect a change on lost and i think me dying did that they had a reunion even though i was working a lot of the ring is lost it's been all huge following news are you are you do you have a must have a fan base that's enormous i mean oh yeah i'm not sure i don't i don't really have too much of a handle on how big that is but i mean i pick projects based on the things that i'm interested in and i grew up with fantasy films and comic books and superheroes and stuff so that's why i gravitate and insects and insects and manchester united your
11:12 pm
big break was lord of the rings right yeah big international thing was lowering those in new zealand right how'd you get the part. i went for a general casting in london to play a generic hobbit and as i was leaving one of the casting directors said if you stick around david powell is coming in about twenty six hours last week sweeney so i sat in the waiting room and i watched the thin white you walk past me and i go into a room and i liked it. and then a couple weeks later i got a phone call from agent saying you might need to fly back to london or go to l.a. to sit down with peter jackson and talk about some things and then the data that he called and said now you don't need to go anywhere they just gave you the parts. i've interviewed feeded incredible to me that piece fantastic i mean i think there were genius gets thrown around a lot nowadays but he is a genius he has the ability to you know compartmentalize his brain into so many different places he also takes a lot of money that he makes and puts it back into the film industry which is
11:13 pm
always the spirits like filming that it was two years of kind of being at university with a bunch of young single men who rolled in and so thin and you know scuba diving and jumping out of airplanes and having fun is a big you know the fellowship is essentially a group of men you know. it's kind of a sausage fest you know so that was kind of a fun time and we all did things that we've never done before and you know pete makes big movies have been a big movie you know doing battle scenes with four hundred people on horseback and stuff pretty special joint musical love music and that's went back there for the second season a while things went looking for the world's largest insect which is going to want to punk what's special about musical and i think a little remote yeah i think the isolation is a big thing you know surrounded by. super fast mistress' like five hours to australia i think the isolation really helps you have a lot of very unique species this unique species of animal but yes i mean unique
11:14 pm
species of human that the kiwi human is quite idiosyncratic and we really do think yeah they do things their own way you know a little eccentric dominic monaghan a lot of what a guy coming up he grew up with in germany more about that after the break. i. technology innovation all the developments around russia we've got the future covered. they have come here to produce long the center identifies them rectifies wrongful convictions and other serious miscarriages of justice and to save an innocent man's life these young law student cern investigating the case. but i think it's kind of like a constant. law and seeking the truth to establish whether the witness had
11:15 pm
provided false testimony. will the one who has lost all hope finally gain his freedom. hero's first the mr. armadale i should. call the face. of pleasure to have you with us here on t.v. today i'm sure.

11:18 pm
well i'm about transitions in your life yeah yeah i tend to do them when i'm going through changes so i got my first one when i did load the rings and then i go stars on my feet when i was having some kind of dodgy time in l.a. where i wasn't working and hanging out with the wrong people and then i'm a big bills fan so i have to be able to. live in is easy with eyes closed misunderstanding all you see which is a line from strobe effects forever as i'm sure you know and then the last line. the beal sang on a song called the end is a poem caught in line actually which says the love you take is equal to the love you make which of those kind of kind of profound this was done by kat von d. who's a good friend of mine. hurt yeah but it doesn't have been where worse than getting tattoos before really yeah i did being tattooed is like be flicked with a sharp pencil i don't imagine you're married why would you stand because you

11:20 pm
you know you damn right you're having to sweden understand going to film a t.v. show called one hundred code about a new york cop that goes in sweden to catch a serial killer yeah you're the cop yeah and it's interesting because i've been listening to your voice why you've been talking to me because i'm thinking well his voice is you know you have to find an american voice of an american voice and i listened got a voice. you do have a have a car inside of a cup so i'm going to go spend about ten days in hell's kitchen queens and brooklyn and spend some time in new york cops and learn about how they speak and work wire sweden well it's been made in sweden it's a swedish production company the same production company that made the killing and the bridge with an american shore swedish the swedish but it will come over to america just beginning with i was speaking english as an american cup you know swedish is very sexy right now with the with the bridge and the killing so this is a new version of the show you're going to be able to continue doing while things were doing all those yeah i'll do the swedish cop show till around about october

11:29 pm
your friend post a photo from a vacation you can't afford. to. for. the boss
11:30 pm
repeats the same old joke of course you like. your ex-girlfriend still pens tear jerking poetry keep count norris. post only what really matters. to your facebook news feed this morning. i met my great in the city ok so this is kristen talking and me and margaret i leaving criminal court house ok so there's my good as you could get out of the courthouse and katsu the courtroom that kelli was going to be and at first we didn't see him for a while and we were kind of nervous like there is here you know and then he came in the door and mike recognized him from the left side of the door and i'm sure the answer to that to him to me that it was any of it was him jurist you got over the entire thing he said there was no comes with it that it was all
11:31 pm
accurate. and he said. to santa. basically it was actually that easy surprisingly the police and it was just like going. you know i felt like i should stop to be like this thing that we wanted for some august finally happening and it's just one step closer. to getting that has just found and just to be very little. room. down kelly stokes finally and we got him to sign an affidavit. one affidavit one. really revised statement by kelley is not enough to get
11:32 pm
a judge to let marcus out of business because. this is a really hard case the facts are so complicated and we're hitting all sorts of dead ends when we're trying to find witness says you're on cover or new. evidence and it can be really frustrating in part because i think i came to the clinic thinking that it would be a little easier to prove someone is in a sense i'll tell you the hardest thing we do. is to tell somebody who you who we believe might well be. sorry we can't help you i mean that's really hard. if people knew you know. how much we really care and how much we'd like to help but we just came. out of a whole lot over. but i prayed every night for him.
11:33 pm
in his safe return back home but a lot of times i feel like you know. what is it ever going to come and i can't even begin to imagine what it's like that it's sort of like a constant loss he's keeping a loss never being able to move on from it because it's not really god he's someone i have. you know he's out with them and he stuff our a match and i'm so. i'd like to believe that it will be a good outcome but at this point we don't really have.
11:34 pm
to think that there will be a break in the case i truly believe and. i don't know when it will have been. but it will be but i think some theory. just gotta keep pushing i don't give up. we will do whatever we need to do to take it to its fullest but it's a real spec deck against people like mine. one of the other reasons we decided to get involved in representing marcus wiggins is because of what happened to him when he was you know a fourteen year old he was tortured in beat by a group of officers who were under the command of john birch. a
11:35 pm
chicago teenager is following a civil rights lawsuit against former police commander john burgess the suit charges that marcus wiggins was falsely arrested by area three chicago policeman and beaten and tortured with electric shock the act allegedly occurred in one nine hundred ninety one when wiggins was thirteen years old one of police commander john byrd was in charge of the area three at the time and the suit charges that men under burgess supervision violated the juveniles rights in an effort to force a murder confession out of him one thing that has been suggested to us is that this more recent charge of murder was made in retaliation for the fact that his family successfully sued these police officers some of the officer as who were involved in you know the torture he suffered at age fourteen were very interested in what was happening to him in this case in so that is something that you know we will be looking into bernie the policemen there were involved in that very day working and
11:36 pm
underneath him still on the force that can. get to them. and they know that this is going on like that these cases are being. considered. when marcus this case came to me i learned that the sergeants were under perch it was a bird case and the detectives who work for birch kind of became alert. i noticed that when marcus had reported to the audi home he had indicated in his intake form that he had been beaten by those tactics in the face he had been beaten in the chest. his mother told me that he had. told her that he had been shocked that he
11:37 pm
had been shocked and she didn't know what he meant and she was quite upset by that and i thought well this is an interesting pattern and practice that i should look into especially after having discovered that his odd had gone to the police station and found him curled up in a ball sucking his thumb on the floor. you. may have to knock a magazine story fits into the bigger picture this torture was not a solitary. thing. any all people in this area you know i think their attitude would have been while they deserved it. you know they had to use some modest and rough methods now and that's not that's not unusual get that's the same thing that's going on right now with you know if the base in cuba are going to turn around if you've got a good answers how do you get if you have to use you know some rough methods i mean a lot of people the attitude is you know the end justifies the means touching
11:38 pm
suspected terrorists because you don't touch anyone using the same methods to torture suspected terrorists as you use to torture american civilians so you tell him i in no way suspects to a crime i mean can you even. the . most it sound you support his role is a matter do some somebody you're about to beat you up you know some like the coke is you could beat up which will get what you'll get almost killed. you know sooner or later today you know these are going to like news go to you but i'll go with thousand is going to do what it wants and you know you are you are your whole life flash you're funny. you know and just you go no you know you lose the groups in
11:39 pm
your hands you know you've got hackles awnings what i would have looked shocked to in the lectures and go through you but you jumped on the floor like like some out of door like like you have the seasonal some people some delay in education in neighbors and stuff like that. don't. put all. the outcome on the. middle east. and i'm shocked to be shocked i felt this all. alleged i'm. going to model. a film last june on my. job and i want to just group the. thing on. i do all. the doubt do i just saw it was like ah a blink down the film to. and they came around want to stay me in the
11:40 pm
time of the sun so a lot of the sound and all the communal oh. oh boy in a oh it's a you know i don't. have to talk to somebody if you got the right evidence you don't have to just take them to court and you just mentioned of this you've got. president you scare the system manager john tyler julie costs but what happened with with him so it made it such a unique case what to say you had an eyewitness who break the door of the family of the victim and told them their son had been shot. he. just pushed hard to shut right and now they've got a problem because they've got an eyewitness who says well one person did the shooting and how do you explain away these other kids confessing why do you confess
11:41 pm
to a crime that you didn't commit. well you do it if you're tortured. judge straight or knew that that it was a dangerous situation when he issued his. his protective order. in this case for fear of what happened ordering no chicago police officers to have any contact i don't want to quote oh. no you must know how all the border dogs to conclude cause told. me the point of no. in the snow. the cops rockets were fired i mean it was there was he got fired few months later so he had this mode of retaliation and that we should be thinking about it. i do believe strongly that marcus macon second murder case is related to his first
11:42 pm
murder case in ways that i'm not a privilege to speak about. that all. and i think this absent a lot of questions julie answered a lot of questions about the first case and to kind of about how it may be connected to the second case the subject the second case that i just can't understand how it could have been and yet they have still gotten away with it and just yeah i can understand the system i guess the i think you'd like to read through the actual trial. chances are forcing that. it. looks at the finish line that the car. was going at. what is coming at nine o'clock in the morning.
11:43 pm
perfectly. legal. leg. to leg lifts. cross talk rules and if it doesn't you can jump in anytime you want. to look. this was in the washington well as a miss. is being suggested in the list of numbers of the. candidates
11:44 pm
for the prophecy of current issues actually back to you and doesn't do too much for ad revenue my own tech agriculture giant teeth on a seventy six year old american farmer east india fallout do you think this is going to create for the cia do you think this is what's triggering the americas the largest economy in the world it's also the largest debtor nation in the history of breaking the set is mostly about alternatives to the status quo but one that is real alternatives to the points to looking for the american dream the next they were just trying to survive it's time for americans and lawmakers from washington to wake up and start talking about the real cause of the problem. my drug is being dropped. again and are going to. do here
11:45 pm
and you. know we're all. views. especially when i'm sure that. we realize that a lot of the hottest police officer names they're seeing not the papers that the file for the ninety eight case were also in the one case from marcus march. o'brian the same one that we're going to hear of the flares night when i was thirteen years old the. stick is here to do. is say you. see here we get to where it's not in the legal issues to do with the business. to go here push really.
11:46 pm
are talking about this and my dad looked at my home from work while the night and he was a little bit sick call i mean has this really was the idea of a police conspiracy and to grow up in the things that took place not so joe may have attacked us and watch out for ass and come to school and talk to little kids and. the police are fat and the truth is not all some are and that's turned on us well reality d.l.'s we know for a fact that the police tried to set him up for two prior merce in and we know we know that that happened did happen a third time maybe but we can't say for sure at this point. we know he was tortured when he was thirteen we know that they tried to implicate him in a murder that occurred after he was tortured when he was thirteen years of age and
11:47 pm
he could not have committed a murder because he had an iron clad alibi and was living up in wisconsin at the time so there were members of the police department we know who did not like marcus wiggins did not like what he stood for and possibly you know were out to get him can we prove it in this case not yet and so that so that's where we're at that's that's where we're at. and i remember the feeling of me being the prison. so horrible that. marcus. not able to believe. i could walk out of the prison and i remember the sky was very blue and so on a shining. and i felt very much what it was like to be outdoors. and
11:48 pm
marcus was in having that same experience. that this was going to go to stupid school or to move she. didn't censor due to. these. sort of. the bonds are deep here because we're doing something very special representing people who run fully convicted. and we have a situation here where all the players have told us them selves or told us through third parties that marcus we're going to not commit the crime the only person we've not talked to or heard from is cedric farley and he is the you know he was the one who gave you know testimony against marcus. and i just i don't know how we can rattle this wrongful conviction without talking to him in finding out what he has
11:49 pm
to say i mean it's case so yes it's kate. maybe because i did so i just want a mom just started searching moments that are entirely ok and i'm not trying to trying to tell you the name of the style to see. me when i'm some the store manager and so on the door with you on the t.v. has the information. because there are some wisconsin addresses and stuff and i am not going to. give. us a single. such expelled if it has a higher chance it's not next because there could be someone else changed. it's going to. be just we're using the home i guss that you know wisconsin election. that's what i'm
11:50 pm
talking to climb for are looking simply leave me to pull all c's wasn't it do not want homicide president president you know where he is one moment in time so all of you know we got to find out how we did it was enough to call the correctional institution find out what there was and what it was on our hands. and then we just go ok if we don't write a letter we just got. to turn through to you. which is true the openness to the disclosure and to you and. briefly your own son if you know your dream dream dream dream dream dream dream when you're. going to say this ambulance had apparently goes wow. not just. just search the because frey again never said this is the biggest break and the case that we've had to stop fingers
11:51 pm
crossed. it's your your little. legit business it is. because it saved lives so this evening each hello. you are able to interview at the center for life. you are. just a cold shock to see our whole team did not see the results. of. their heart but is said to be the least bit marcus relenting i don't know if he said that the police did marcus wrong that's interesting he said no it was better to show. where they were point by. and they showed him a trick works tickets for those. because we've used the for the lineup i guess huge
11:52 pm
that he was told the boss that told that was bad they said. right. up the back. leg and they showed that picture to him before he views the monica. tiling as a last minute speech. clearly concerned that the police wanted marcus and because they wanted him to send as a red badge for revealing the misdeeds of their colleagues when he was thirteen. they could witnesses under pressure to point the finger at america as a retaliation for. the local folks all of the books in federal building is moving into new things to go if you like anything that will bring. john into the public eye and i just like a trial such as this is great for markets because it just makes his case that
11:53 pm
majority things are really going to say there's more to this in the. courts today once that he was taken out of the federal building away from public view. jogger just down. the trail. birds now for some years in prison. when you look at everything we've collected and you start connecting the dots you see that this case begins with police torture and it ends with police intimidation and police retaliation and the same detectives who were involved in the torture of marcus wiggins were involved with taking statements from witnesses who now claim that they were forced to tell
11:54 pm
a lie at trial and so i think it be end of the day we have got what we might call a bird. when you look at all that we have done at the end of the day there's not one witness not one piece of paper that is inconsistent with marcus wiggins's claim of actual innocence we still have some tasks left to do and today we'll make a list of what they are and you know decide who's going to complete those tasks but i think now the time has come to put pen to paper and i think now is the time has come to explain to our listeners to the court why marcus is k. should be heard why he's innocent and why he deserves a new trial. the we're all typing the am isn't my.
11:55 pm
mother's name it's technically a ninety eight year in italy her story tonight going to shame me in the years now a gallery a movie and i am optimistic talking to you see a play like me they beat me to the long leg. is going through so you just. don't. dismiss your so. i'm just going to love that song. to two to listen to go to sleep. the way to. take to get. to the end tell us what they. used to. call. the limits line to highest.

activists clashing with police in the city of hot coffee in eastern ukraine as they struggle to maintain control of the local government office off to declaring independence from kiev. several other major cities in eastern regions also engulfed in unrest crowds rallying in defiance of ukraine's interim leaders and seeking to break away. u.s. claims that it set up a twitter style social network in cuba to spread information. but it's all being met with rather a lot of skepticism. the
12:01 am
world's top headlines for this hour it's aussie international with me rule research from everybody here welcome to the program it has certainly been a night of unrest in eastern ukraine to the city of how to cough local government building held by kiev activists. witnessing scenes of violence clashes erupted after protesters declared the region an independent republic and we spoke with one activist who was at the scene of a. think we have some new cream in the media have been showing molotov cocktails thrown at the building saying that it was activists who provoked the conflict in reality the group of men who introduce themselves as policemen from poltava and suma entered the building and started attacking unarmed people there using stun grenades and rubber bullets but they never showed their i.d.'s there
12:02 am
were many injured among us they pushed us so but that's when we made more tough cocktails and threw them inside trying to smoke the moat but unlike them we never attempted to hurt them we were aiming for the walls later they saw reinforcements arriving at the building and fled. and in another eastern ukrainian city that i've done yet sc a group of activists a clear day sovereign state on monday it started as a peaceful rally drawing thousands but later protesters stormed the local administrative building demanding an independence referendum and said the region will hold a vote before the upcoming presidential election. and here we have a bit of a report here from a journalist our graham william phillips who was reporting for us from the town of . here i saw i didn't keep i think we can see behind this is supplied barricades of true russian protests is not i can see. the several hundred
12:03 am
here that could even be countless times because you can see for us we have john not . russian demonstrate their own reports and if i can speak confirm to be here to see as they are right now to hold a referendum here in donetsk. meantime in the southern city of nicholai supporters of the ortho or he's in kiev forcibly dismantle the protest camp that was set up by those opposing the interim government. well the pictures speak for themselves according to local media i'm going to tell them what people were injured when my dad and i can do best clashed with pro russian protesters stun grenades firecrackers being used we discussed the unrest in the east of ukraine with independent researcher and writer soraya alric she says the change of power in kiev was against the interests of a large part of the population. the western governments. have
12:04 am
a desire to expand into the region and and who needed to surround russia may think that it was success but it's inconceivable how they can even imagine it being a success when there is so much conflict an uprising and i think loss of the europeans should be very apprehensive because it is in europe it borders with those countries that european countries and the conflict has a habit of like like climate pollution is the spillover effect and the nature of our america's nato allies in europe and many people that this who would in fact do the fights for the in fact took away the voice of many of the others who are not backing this work backing the president and when they were ignored i think and we saw of clashes and clashes all will unfortunately aggressively escalate. and the leader of the radical right secular group dimitri yarosh he says his group's
12:05 am
actions when i'll be aimed at fighting russia. the right sector is creating a special command which will coordinate the activities of all the groups quartz in order to fight russian aggression we also coordinate our actions with ukraine's national security council. and the right sector is considered a far right neo nazi group which has recently become a political party in ukraine its leader will take part in the upcoming may presidential election the fact that this group and many other far right radicals have been snatching power since the february revolution in kiev is russia's biggest concern as well as wiring the people in the east of ukraine. the behavior of ukraine's nationalists appears to be largely passing the us by in fact american officials of openly confessed that they just don't double check information that is provided by the revolutionary leaders in kiev.
12:06 am
so you are relying on the government in terms of what is. owed do you have any independent sources well of course we remain very closely in touch with the ukrainian government in that too we work closely with enough course they are on the ground so their information is are often very relevant to current so we need the secretary talked to mr glover on. one two three four and a lot of things in between say look the situation is like this this if we have this is the true these are russian said jean said to say he told him exactly what i what i just conveyed to all of you and you can certainly reach out to the russians for any readout from their aunt margaret. well polls suggest a few in the us have or even want a clear picture of what's actually going on in ukraine in fact an investigation by the washington post has now shown sixteen percent of americans don't even know
12:07 am
where the country actually is and they were asked to point out ukraine on a world map and as you can see as we bring up the graphics are an r.t. international well the truth here as well very far from reality but there also appears to be a rather interesting correlation or less accurate people were in the tests the more they wanted the u.s. to intervene the greater threat they saw from russia. russia's our foreign minister sergei lavrov has rebuffed accusations moscow was seeking to destabilize ukraine in a column published in britain's guardian newspaper he writes that russia has been supporting ukraine for years and accuses brussels and washington of aggravating the crisis by forcing kiev to choose between east and west a foreign affairs expert in a body of knowledge says that kiev has alienated the south and east of the country with this and see russian rhetoric. what they've done is tear the country apart while there was a task even a tacit understanding that there was
12:08 am
a constitution that there were rules that were going to be obeyed and that the interests of. all ukrainians whether russian speakers or ukrainian speakers or whatever would be respected. there john she was able to pull together at the moment it became obvious that she might done put just don't really care for any sort of law is a post and only really care for law here on guns and everybody else decided to take guns up as well and six you were right stamey and this is the consequence of that action from the very get go it was obvious that the my john regime was very anti russian in every respect in the by stench and anti russian ukrainian so it's discoursing has been horribly mishandled by the mind on people from the very start starting with the cool february twenty second and the crisis in ukraine stokes talk of american sanctions against russia despite experts predictions they will only backfire coming up here on the program we'll have a close look at one industry that's already experiencing decline and fall due to
12:09 am
washington's approach. now here on the program this is r.t. international america's international development agency has admitted to running a twitter like social networking cuba however it has dismissed allegations it was an attempt to undermine the government saying everything it did was completely within the law but as ati's guy in a teacher can reports not everyone is convinced. an investigation by the associated press has revealed that the us government has once again tried to steer protests in cuba by creating a messaging network which was designed to become the cuban twitter the social network based on text messages was launched four years ago and was called a nail now at the time nobody knew that the program was conceived in washington and carried out by the u.s. agency for international development the associated press investigation reveals that that extensive efforts were undertaken to conceal the true nature of zooms and
12:10 am
mailed using offshore bank accounts from companies and overseas servers the a.p. quoted a twenty ten memo from a contractor involved in the initiative saying there will be absolutely no mention of united states government involvement this is absolutely crucial for the long term success of the service and to ensure the success of the mission the mission being cuban spring of course apparently the idea was to create a service that would carry neutral content at the beginning but once it gained enough subscribers that's when it would be useful political purposes the a.p. quotes and other documents saying walk add banners will give it the appearance of a commercial enterprise you can see any of it now because the program was shut down two years after its creation not clear exactly why some sources have said because of lack of funding or maybe because of lack of official so there are still questions at its peak though the network had around fifty thousand subscribers and
12:11 am
for a while many unsuspecting cubans kept guessing why their new free messaging service stopped working all of a sudden oh yes by the way apparently the initiative also appears to have had civilians dimension to it according to the contractor mobile the court began building a vast database about the subscribers assessing their quote unquote receptiveness and political tendencies well now that these subscribers know who was really behind the service the white house says. they were not trying to dupe anybody at all they were just being quote unquote discreet here's jay carney saying of course the government has taken steps to be discreet but this is not unique to cuba u.s. officials who argue there is nothing wrong about facilitating communication flow of information is all protected under free speech fair enough but there is a fine line between informing people and for maintaining revolutions in order to align certain states with their interests in washington i'm going to check on our
12:12 am
team. social networks of proved very useful worldwide in fueling protests and unrest services like facebook and twitter provide a way to easily mobilize crowds i remember the iranian elections in two thousand and nine two thousand and ten and it led to protests dubbed the facebook revolution and the arab spring was also largely inspired by social networks they played a major role in the overthrow in regimes for example tunisia egypt and washington has been openly supporting the youth protests and i want to critics believe the covert program in cuba was also an attempt to cause up evil and william robinson a socialist from the university of california of among those who believe the project had nothing to do with promoting the freedom of speech the united states has spent between one thousand nine hundred six and two thousand and eleven over two hundred million dollars to destabilize cuba in the name of promoting democracy this particular and that's documented this is simply the latest in
12:13 am
a long string of destabilization for the us government has discovered it can use social media in order to intervene in other countries in order to mobilize and manipulate populations in order to achieve its desired political outcomes the us congress was arguing whether this is in line with u.s. law or it is not in line with u.s. law but that is irrelevant because this is an absolute violation of international law. and a senior correspondent from germany is there should be a go bag as in holger star believes governments are well ahead of the average user when it comes to using social networks for political reasons people realized that the internet lost its innocence and that's probably the biggest achievement for snowden since the fall of last summer the overall approach of the n.s.a. but also the government is to have the whole hey a stick that's how they say it so imagine the internet all information that is flowing every day as the haystack and the internet the intelligence agencies who
12:14 am
want to acquire that haystack to have everything almost all kinds of information and then to find out and go through it which information is necessary to have and which not in i think people need to realize whatever you do on the internet it's just on secure. are still to come here an hour to international out of aereo into buying month say hitting the path of enlightenment on the roof who just temple in siberia. pushes delving into the mystery of one lama who's known decaying body is modern scientists even today decades after. they have come here to produce long a center identifies them rectifies wrongful convictions and other serious miscarriages of justice and to save an innocent man's life these young law students earn vest again in the case can't even be content match but it's a kind of a sort of like

no law. well. you know a lot like. let's say the. excuse is. sometimes for nothing. it's not just steve. jobs if you see the state take the. speech was. there i marinate and you're watching boom bust here are some of the stories that we're tracking for you today. first up we're talking jobs on today's show now the
12:30 am
u.s. unemployment numbers recently came out and we're looking at a structural shift in the job market is perma temp at the new normal who will let you know coming to right up and then sticking with the jobs theme i sat down with max wolff and daniel alford to talk about the types of jobs being created along with the global watch of the fly and how it affects our labor markets interesting stuff that in today's big deal edward harrison and i are looking at the job creation index and what exactly it means it's all coming up and it all starts right now. with. the job numbers came out this past friday and while they weren't abysmal they do
12:31 am
point to a potential shift in the job marc. that one which the job numbers simply can't account for now since two thousand and nine more than one tenth of all job growth has been in the short term staffing industry otherwise known as temp jobs now it's important to note that temp hiring often increases after economic downturns as companies look to control labor costs now according to career builder dot com since two thousand and nine more than half of all jobs created have been from temper contract work and not full time employment now many labor experts now believe that continued hiring of short term workers marks a structural shift in the job market the economy out of twenty eight thousand temporary service jobs last month and that number represents fifteen percent of all job gains for the month of march the number of temp jobs has risen almost ten percent this past year as a whole and that's the greatest increase for any of the one hundred fifty categories tracked by the department of labor technological advances particularly
12:32 am
in manufacturing have led companies to rethink how many permanent workers they need companies that reduce hiring amid the recession have learned that they can save money in wages and benefits as well as increase their flexibility by using fewer permanent employees and the american staffing association estimates that eleven million people had attempt to zisha at some point last year and according to the bureau of labor statistics the average weekly pay for a temp job is one third less than the pay for all other types of jobs so the question is is perma temp and the perma temp economy the new norm well only time will tell but today it would be fair to say that yes it kind of is. that broad wall is a go to make pundits and teachers echo. comics at the new school university
12:33 am
graduate program in new york city now from a research perspective max's interests include international financial risks and opportunities and in that vein max often hones in on the jobs in the jobs numbers now with the latest jobs numbers out this past friday maximised sat down to discuss this very subject specifically focusing on the job situation here in the u.s. now i asked max about hidden stories of stagnant wage growth and the return of low wage jobs in this recovery which lie behind these relatively positive numbers here's what he had to say. sure so what we're tend to sort of focus on with the b.l.s. non-farm payrolls it comes out the first friday at eight thirty am eastern time every month is how many people did or didn't get a new job the net increase right and somewhere along of how many people are looking for a job but can't find one the unemployment rate those are very important numbers but think about it we have a six point seven percent unemployment rate the other way to think about that is we have about a ninety three percent employment rate where we ask about how good are the jobs do
12:34 am
they have any job security do they have any benefits how good are the benefits of what do they pay we're actually saying how well are the as the average person that ninety four percent of the public ninety five percent how well are they doing right because what really life is about is do i make enough money to live can i go to the doctor could i ever retire if i do will i be absolutely broke will i be a burden to my children i get to go to a dentist can i go to. doctor if i need one and how likely are my to be fired at the whim of my employer or possibly mistreated blah blah blah so the lived experience of most americans and their earnings on which this economy is based seventy percent of the u.s. economy is that consumption is really about job security benefits and wages and we haven't told that story as a focal point but we probably haven't told that story for the last five years because that story's been pretty dark and so the truth is the average working american has had no raise in five years. and they have the same or worse benefits
12:35 am
but they're paying more for them so they have less job security in terms of adjusted for inflation the same or a lower salary and they're less secure in their job and less secure in their benefits whether that is the health benefit component or the retirement benefit component now people give you lots of different reasons why that is in your opinion what is the reason behind this stopping a lot of things so there is a productivity revolution with information technology there is a continuing if not at fever pitch but a continuing outsourcing of a lot of even now relatively more skilled jobs jobs that once went to radiologists or ones went to accountants are being partially off shored and also mechanized right through new technologies that's a big thing but the other thing is the bottom line is the political mood in the united states has been a fairly empty labor which is not good for working people generally and the truth is when unemployment is this high and people are fairly nervous and desperate about their job situation one doesn't usually find an aggressive group of folks demanding
12:36 am
better conditions or wage increases because quite frankly they're kind of afraid that if they're the squeaky wheel and sort of getting the grease that the pink slip you get the axe not the case then why should we be concerned about this low wage job sector coming back faster than higher paying jobs great question because the truth is we're setting out for what kind of future we're going to have and if we're seeing people get fired as schoolteachers which we are and as public sector workers and to some extent in some of the higher paid business services jobs which we've seen and we're seeing new jobs as security guards and cashiers and clerks and nonprofessional secretaries by the way those are the fastest growing categories in there that we're seeing jobs growing which have an average salary of eighteen to thirty five thousand dollars and we're seeing jobs leaving that have an average salary of forty six to sixty five thousand dollars right and so there's the numbers as a much smarter fellow than myself once said statistics are history with the tears wife dry right so there's
12:37 am
a lived reality there which is. is the life you and your family have when you make eighteen thousand dollars a year with no benefits is radically different life in iraq the different community that you're going to engage that if you have benefits and you make forty five thousand dollars a year right so you're looking at a different world a different ability to buy things and support the shops in your neighborhood a different ability to support your family your children your parents whatever it is that you need to use your money for you just in a different situation and that's do you think that we'll see a return to higher paying jobs in the near future i would like to think so i don't see it as an imminent likelihood that depends a bit there's usually a shakeout right when you have a bad economic crisis which we certainly did and the economy restructures and it is there's a transitional period between the old structure breaking down and the new structure taking hold that tends to be a very tumultuous period and wages will be a little lower that so there is some hope there some reason to and we do see high wages by the way the problem is our sort of definitive characteristic economically including the labor market is inequality so we're seeing
12:38 am
a small number of fabulously good very high paying jobs but we're seeing an awful large number of fairly poor kind of temporary benefit like security light jobs and the problem with that is that's heating particularly hard vulnerable areas so that's a pretty hard it young people right so trying to get their first jobs out of school and it's very hard to communities with limited skills and or limited educational attainment and if you look at people with a college degree versus no college degree you're looking at unemployment rates in one case they're less than five percent in other cases more than nine percent so you really see a huge differential here in terms of our. economic and economic fairing you see in the politics too that's a supreme court that feels like freedom will be enhanced by allowing people to suddenly throw off the yoke of being only able to give one hundred twenty five thousand dollars to the but i mean these things that you brought and we talked about it yesterday on the show yeah these things do affect each other right so part of what happens if you sell political offices an auction process which we're moving
12:39 am
toward doing is the people who decide to bid on them and buy them how to effect a legal environment which isn't particularly empowering to low wage workers right yeah which is not good for anyone in the long term probably wage workers that are new people entering the workforce or you know you want them to eventually move up in the air force and there's also myths about low wage workers so the historical myth was this is sort of pin money of stay at home moms so as i'm sure in forty years i'm not sure if it ever was but i know the last forty years was a statistics it's definitely true the idea is it's all teenagers by the way investing in the future last i checked isn't a bad idea but it's not mostly teenagers actually one of the largest categories in this is single moms in their twenty's and thirty's so these are people that we are counting on to support themselves and children on a wage that quite frankly puts you in a very difficult situation to support yourself little dependent children relatives what have you and concerning now you also point out that the average hourly wages
12:40 am
they fell in march now should we be very concerned about this and if so why so the average trend in average hourly wages we should absolutely be focused on we're not it's a mistake one month's numbers declining by a few pennies which is the story of march quite honestly does not of trying to make it's not essential but it's an important reminder right that the end of of the month of march the average person who works in an hourly job in the united states sixty percent of the labor force took home less pretax inflation money than they took the month before and if we're trying to pull more people in the labor force which we are because so many people left during the long depression the downturn there. we're trying to pull them back in well you don't really seduce people back into labor market by saying like if you come here you can work harder than ever for less money right there's a reason you've never seen that in an ad and you're probably never going to write unless it's some kind of ingenious reverse psychology it's not going to appeal to a lot of people right and that's the job offer a little number says is across the month of march american employers offer to their
12:41 am
way their average hourly rate person come here work hard get less and that's the mediocre offer. time now for a very quick break but stick around because when return i'm sitting down with the founder and managing partner of westwood capital daniel alpert and then in today's big deal edward harrison and i are discussing the job creation index and as we head to a quick break here are a look at some of your closing numbers with the bell sticker out. well come to the john siberian. what are the places you never go to.
12:42 am
fun. things you never do. experience you'll never again. be surprised you will. lose georgia just like an old woman and george osborne a number a lot of building straight is convincing the old woman that they should be fretting and then the old woman told george. tenet and then george says. there's a. right
12:43 am
to see. first tree. and not a gripping picture. welcome back to boom but now daniel alpha is a founding partner of westwood capital and has more than thirty years of international merchant banking and investment banking experience in his book the age of oversupply alpert discusses how the integration of china brazil india and other emerging economies have led to a drastic increase in the supply of labor capital and productive capacity now he
12:44 am
argues that policymakers are using outdated supply side ideas to address a world that has too much supply now i started off by asking her to describe what the relationship between demand and supply of labor is in the globalized world. the best way to do it is to sort of discuss what the developed countries are right we talk about japan u.s. canada europe. at least western europe you know throw in some small places like australia new zealand. singapore singapore and you're talking about eight hundred million people in a world of seven plus billion. so it's roughly ten percent of the world's population lives in developed countries well when you remove the iron curtain and the bamboo curtain and suddenly these formerly socialist. countries became at least no longer will they be nominally socialist they're no longer socialist in practice
12:45 am
they they developed market economies people essentially. and they developed market economies and were. what you saw were three and a half billion people including me and that count which i do because they were very socialist. you know three and a half billion people who formally for all intents and purposes didn't exist i mean the only thing we had to fear from the soviet union was their weapons we didn't have to fear their competition and and and so as a practical matter. and certainly china it was was was well removed from the situation so suddenly within a very short period of time and i like to draw this at a very convenient here in one nine hundred eighty nine because that was the year the berlin wall came down in the channel minutes that it happened in china in a very short period of time you saw three and a half billion people suddenly thrust who never existed suddenly thrust into the free market economy against a mere eight hundred million and so of course the eight hundred million who enjoyed
12:46 am
really primacy throughout the world and certainly were the only complete competition for each other were overwhelmed and that's where the this huge cloud of labor global labor this huge glut of global production capacity the enormous number of factories that the chinese are building and everybody else and then finally all the money that we send to buy those chinese products has to sit somewhere and since it's not being converted back into you on it it won't be simply because they don't want the value of the yuan to rise they have to invest that back into u.s. dollar denominated securities or euro denominated securities and that is why global interest rates are near zero and there's no there's no reversing that process until you find another source of demand another sort you know either get the chinese to start start actually consuming or you know somehow have sort of miraculous. increase in developed world global demand which is very unlikely given our employment situation it's a very good breakdown of
12:47 am
a very long since thank you for doing that now in the age of oversupply you you suggest that major new investment. structure is the way forward essentially this is how it's going to help it's not on paper i wrote called the way forward there because. it's not only going to restart growth but it's also going to lay the foundation for prosperity essentially is what you're saying but is there a danger like in china of creating more oversupply the infrastructure then you know we need well you know you told me that you lived in singapore and you really thought that you know as a practical matter there were more first world than in the united states that's only three million people and it's a giant country club but yes it is. but as a but as a practical matter. you have the same thing occurring in coastal china the same thing obviously has been the case for many many years in japan and you have other places throughout the developing world from an infrastructure standpoint may have
12:48 am
been like years behind only twenty years ago and there are now light years ahead so what do you do if you have a developed world with very high standards of living very high incomes high asset values high pretty much everything. but excess labor right what it would you do do you do a lot of the labor just sit on the sidelines languish if in fact you don't if you have deteriorating infrastructure which clearly is true for western europe and the united states. really the only thing you can do in order to create domestic demand is put people to work all the private sector has done everything we've asked of it they're trying desperately to create jobs both here and in europe but with no demand with no you know with supply so exceeding demand no one's going to build another factory no one's going to build another place to make widgets or television sets or whatever in the united states or fridge or raters or anything simply
12:49 am
because there is this massive oversupply of productive capacity elsewhere and freely trade will be the developed world so what that leaves. for with the question is well you have these people who are willing to work you have the work that needs to be done and by the way you have all this excess capital that sloshing around the world and very very cheap well it doesn't take a genius to figure out you put the capital together with the work in the workers and you put and you actually create demand because at what and this is a standard keynesian formula it's nothing particularly outrageous no i want to ask you about this the unemployment rate it's low we have ticking down words and so much so that the fed has decided to suspend the evans rule and some hawks believe this is because the fed is worried basically about inflation and because the economy is heating up for a better word but what's your take on the situation as a whole well i think that the majority of the people at the fed including here at the new york fed had lunch with them on monday. you know they they believe that
12:50 am
we are not in an inflationary environment and it's pretty clear that we're not because we don't have any inflation in fact one of the things that i keep saying and i find so interesting is that during this q e two policy which is intended to heat up inflation that's that's what you want to do you want to grow nominal g.d.p. with this policy making money cheap and scaring people into risk assets and all this other stuff and the problem is is that during the course of this not only. you know have has inflation fallen but actually if you look at the total of the interest rates were lower when they started them when they ended so it's pretty freaky but the reason for that is that people really truly don't understand the price mechanism as it exists today we've got a massive deflationary pressure bearing down on the on the western countries and it all comes from end to pan as well and it all comes from two things one is
12:51 am
yes we have a huge debt overhang remember we went within within eight years from one thousand two thousand two thousand and eight. we went and doubled the amount of debt outstanding in the country in the u.s. from from about twenty four trillion to fifty two trillion and you know you look in every sector i mean housing you doubled it in every area just you know massive amounts of additional debt well it's very hard once you have growth in incomes which we don't have it's very very hard to pay off that debt and that creates a problem of people needing to spend the money they're receiving paying off their debts rather than spending it on what they're supposed to be doing which is consumption right right and and that's called debt deflation irving fischer first wrote about it during the great depression and it's pretty much textbook economics everybody understands that but on top of it we have this overall issue of oversupply which itself is massive deflationary if you create an excess of anything
12:52 am
it's going to push prices that's very simple very basics so if you have an excess of labor if you have an excess of production relative to demand it's massively deflationary and so far what people think people blame q.e. two they said didn't didn't do anything q e three or didn't do anything in to a certain extent that's a valid criticism but there's there's something that its absence would have done that people don't appreciate and that is that the full brunt of global deflationary forces both domestic from debt deflation and and oversupply from abroad would have literally tank this economy and now this economy is on terrible footing right now simply because all q e three really did is it boosted up asset values boost it up real estate prices boosted up stock market values with doing very little for the real economy and as we can see wages have been anemic hiring is very very slow pace. so so you know if the i think everybody at the fed is quite right
12:53 am
at this point there's no point in continuing it it's not going to do any marginal benefit. it's a big deal time and i'm joined as always by the one the only mr edward harrison and today we're talking about what the u.s. can do to promote a stronger job market that's going to be discussing now you've heard from both max wolff and daniel alpert about the job situation but now we want to look at how this all fits into our macro economic position should we be tentatively happy and optimistic or gloomy and apprehensive take a look at this graph from gallup there we go there it is now the dark green line that's popping up there it is it shows the percentage of u.s. workers who say their employer is hiring workers now about like or in line underneath that shows us workers who say their employer is firing workers and as
12:54 am
you can see in two thousand and nine it jumps above the dark green one which means that there were more employees being fired than being hired however since then things have been looking up so at what is the general attitude towards this jobs report is it partly cloudy with a chance of rain or is there something else going on here what's the deal different partly cloudy because the missing piece is what daniel and and max was saying which is what about the wages and what kind of jobs are we getting rather good jobs or are they bad jobs or you know is this is good is the job i used to have. and what kind of money am i getting in the job so people are hiring but as you were saying in your headline. it's a lot of temporary workers and it's not necessarily great wages so you have to wonder you know where this is headed over the longer term what do you think upon a time i want to ask you your thoughts on i think that you know in the united states that the temporary job market has become
12:55 am
a really big part of the job market overall and their uses in order to. you know boost up the job market as we go. you know when things start to go down there the first person is fired and therefore you can actually see with the temporary workers what's going to happen in the overall job market it's like everyone's anticipating a return to bad times and is whether or not they're not signing up for full time employees road it could be you could not well see you know i want to bring up another graphic here to provide some context to all this all this information is let's throw this up now here we go now that dark green line right there that line shows the official unemployment rate or you three which is that six point seven percent and the light green line that shows you six unemployment rate which is the official unemployment rate plus workers who are underemployed and that means that there are part time workers that they are. now i mean look at this graph we're we're still in really bad times and a bad place in terms of employment as well as the context of this positive outlook
12:56 am
and should be glad that unemployment hasn't shot up to seven percent should we you know be counting our blessings or will looking at those two graphs that you should have thought they were pretty good because what you noticed is before the great recession the difference between the two law was smaller than it is after the great recession so the sort of went up with each other and they shot way up but then when they shot up the used six was much higher than the youth as compared to before the great recession so you can see that the you six lot is telling you that there's this. unemployment picture that's not being captured in the you to rely on the youth is the headline rate that we see the use six lot is sort of the broader the most broad definition of unemployment and that's saying to you that the headline rate isn't really giving you the full picture and as always thank you for your invaluable but that's all for now you can see all segments featured in today show on you tube at youtube dot com slash the best our team we also love hearing from

1:01 am
the world's top headlines live for this hour it's r.t. international with me research for everybody here welcome to the program. ukraine's interior minister says it has now started a crackdown in the eastern ukrainian city of hot coffee after a local government building held by kiev activists witnessed scenes of violence clashes erupted after protesters declared the region an independent republic here on r.t. international we spoke with one activist who was at the scene of. some ukrainian media have been showing molotov cocktails thrown at the building same that it was activists who provoked the conflict in reality the group of men who introduced themselves as policemen from. entered the building and started attacking people there using stun grenades and rubber bullets they never showed the right
1:02 am
deeds there were many injured among us they pushed us so but. that's when we made more cocktails and threw them inside trying to smoke the moat but unlike them we never attempted to hurt them we were aiming for the walls later they saw our reinforcements arriving at the building and fled. and eastern ukrainian city have done yet sk a group of activists declared a sulpher in state on monday now it all started as a peaceful rally drawing thousands of protesters stormed the local administrative building demanding an independence referendum and they said the region will hold the vote before the upcoming presidential election journalist graham william phillips reports from doing it but here i thought i didn't think so keep pride since you know more we can see behind this is the will to fly barricades of the pro russian protests is now you can see the runway the several hundred here the could
1:03 am
even be hard to come out as you can see as we have young we have oh good approach russian demonstrators and the atmosphere here is calm but these people seem to be here to stay i mean here to demand what they see as their right now to hold the referendum here in donetsk. so it isn't just russia climbs we're seeing we're seeing a range of sentiment very much real pro don't ask what they want to hear in the bias is for their voice to be heard in kiev. and in the southern city of nicholai of supporters of the authorities in kiev forcibly dismantled a protest that was set up by those who oppose the interim government. according to the local media up to ten people were injured when my dad activists clashed with pro russian protesters stun grenades and firecrackers were used as we discussed the on the rest of the east of ukraine with foreign affairs expert. he
1:04 am
says kiev has alienated the south and east of the country with its anti russian rhetoric. what is done is tear the country apart while there was a task even a tacit understanding that there was a constitution that there were rules that were going to be obeyed and that the interests of. all ukrainians whether russian speakers or ukrainian speakers or whatever would be respected. and she was able to pull together at the moment it became obvious that he might done put just don't really care for any sort of law is false and the only really care for law here on guns and everybody else decided to take guns up as well and. right stamey and this is a consequence of that action from the very get go it was obvious that the my don regime was very anti russian in every respect in the by stench and anti russian ukrainian so it's discoursing has been horribly mishandled by the mind on people
1:05 am
from the very start starting with the cool february twenty second and in the meantime the leader of the radical right sector group dimitri yarosh he says his group's actions will now be aimed at fighting russia. the right sector is creating a special command which will coordinate the activities of all groups warts and order to fight russian aggression we're also coordinating all russians with ukraine's national security council. and the right sector is considered a far right neo nazi group which has recently become a political party in ukraine its leader will take part in the upcoming may presidential election and the fact that this group and many other far right radicals have been snatching power since the february revolution in kiev is russia's biggest concern as well as wiring people in the east of ukraine. now at the behavior of ukraine's nationalists appears to be largely passing the us by american officials have openly confessed they don't double check information
1:06 am
provided by revolutionary leaders in kenya. so you are relying on the government in terms of what is going on oh do you have any independent sources well of course we remain very closely in touch with the ukrainian government and that too we work closely with enough course they are on the ground so their information is are often very relevant to current so we need the secretary talked to mr glover on the one two three four or that it's a lot of tension between say look the situation is like this this is what we have this is the true these are russian said it came to say he told him exactly what i what i just conveyed to all of you and you can certainly reach out to the russians for any readout from their aunt margaret. well polls suggest now but few in the u.s. have or even want a clear picture of exactly what's going on in ukraine in fact an investigation by
1:07 am
the washington post has shown that sixteen percent of americans don't even know where the country actually is they were asked to point out ukraine on the world map as you can see many were very far away from reality there also appeared to be an interesting correlation the less accurate people were on the test the more they wanted the u.s. to intervene and the greater threat they saw from russia. nevertheless a c.b.s. poll shows the vast majority of americans don't want their country to intervene in ukraine sixty five percent of those questioned disapproved of any plans for the u.s. and nato to provide military assistance to kiev an independent researcher and writer psoriasis a poor all rick i think that the western interference in ukraine has already caused enough chaos the western governments. have a desire to expand into the region and and who needed to surround russia may think that it was successful but it's inconceivable how they can even imagine it being
1:08 am
a success when there is so much conflict an uprising nato allies america's nato allies in europe and many that it would in fact get a prize for the in fact took away the voice of many of the others who were not backing this who were backing the president and when they were ignored and i think then we saw of clashes and clashes will unfortunately aggressively escalate. russia's foreign minister has rebuffed accusations moscow was seeking to destabilize ukraine in a column published in britain's guardian newspaper he writes that russia has subpoenaed been supporting ukraine for years and accuses brussels and washington of aggravating the crisis by forcing kiev to choose between east and west independent researcher and writer of a poll or a continuous. more comments from her on our website dot com for the meantime though the crisis in ukraine
1:09 am
continues the stoke of talk of american sanctions against russia despite experts predicting they will only backfire coming up on the program we'll take a look at one industry that's already experiencing decline and fall due to washington's approach. but for me some of the program and so will nearly ten minutes past the hour here in moscow cuba says the u.s. is waging a major social media campaign to undermine its government a twitter like network is just one of many projects others include sending text messages and using the internet to broadcast t.v. signals which are jammed by cuban authorities at the u.s. dismisses allegations it's trying to star on the rest of his r.t.s. guy nature can reports not everyone is so convinced. an investigation by the associated press has revealed that the us government has once again tried to steer
1:10 am
protests in cuba by creating a messaging network which was designed to become the cuban twitter the social network based on text messages was launched four years ago and was called. now at the time nobody knew that the program was conceived in washington and carried out by the u.s. agency for international development the associated press investigation reveals that that extensive efforts were undertaken to conceal the true nature of zooms and mailed using offshore bank accounts from companies and overseas servers the a.p. quoted a twenty ten memo from a contractor involved in the initiative saying there will be absolutely no mention of united states government involvement this is absolutely crucial for the long term success of the service and to ensure the success of the mission the mission being cuban spring of course apparently the idea was to create a service that would carry neutral content at the beginning but once it gained enough subscribers that's when it would be useful political purposes the a.p. quotes and other documents saying walk add banners will give it the appearance of
1:11 am
a commercial enterprise you can't see any of it now because the program was shut down two years after its creation not clear exactly why some sources have said because of lack of funding or maybe because of lack of official so there are still questions at its peak though the network had around fifty thousand subscribers and for a while many unsuspecting cubans kept guessing why their new free messaging service stopped working all of a sudden oh yes by the way apparently the initiative also appears to have had civilians dimension to it according to the contractor mobil accord begin building a vast database about the subscribers assessing their quote unquote receptiveness and political tendencies well now that the subscribers know who was really behind the service the white house says. they were not trying to dupe anybody at all they were just being quote unquote discreet here's jay carney saying of course the
1:12 am
government has taken steps to be discreet but this is not unique to cuba u.s. officials who argue there is nothing wrong about facilitating communication flow of information it's all protected under free speech fair enough but there is a fine line between informing people and for maintaining revolutions in order to align certain states with their interests in washington i'm going to check on our team. our social networks are proved very useful worldwide in fueling protests and unrest services like facebook and twitter provide a very easy way to mobilize crowds you remember the iranian elections of two thousand and nine to two thousand and ten led to protests dubbed the facebook revolution or the arab spring also largely inspired by social networks they played a major role in the overthrow of regimes in tunisia and egypt and washington has been openly supporting the youth protests there so well perhaps no wonder the critics believe their covert program in cuba was also an attempt to cause up evil
1:13 am
william robinson a socialist from the university of california is among those who believe the project had nothing to do with promoting freedom of speech the united states has spent between one thousand nine hundred six and two thousand and eleven over two hundred million dollars to destabilize cuba in the name of promoting democracy this particular and that's documented this is simply the latest in a long string of destabilization for the u.s. government has discovered it can use social media in order to intervene in other countries in order to mobilize and manipulate populations in order to achieve its desired political outcomes the u.s. congress was arguing whether this is in line with u.s. law or it is not in line with u.s. law but that is irrelevant because this is an absolute violation of international law. and senior correspondent from germany magazine holga star believes that governments are well ahead of the average user when it comes to using social

networks for political. people realize that the internet lost its innocence and that's probably the biggest achievement for snowden since he popped up last summer the overall approach of the n.s.a. but also the government is to have to hold a stake that's how they say it so imagine the internet all information that is flowing every day is the haystack of the internet the intelligence agencies that want to acquire that haystack to have everything almost all kinds of information and then to find out and go through it which information is necessary to have and which not and i think people need to realize whatever you do on the internet it's just on secure are just on a quarter past the hour here in moscow thank you for joining us here on r.t. international still to come just around the corner to buying what's a heading the path of enlightenment on route to a buddhist temple in siberia. delving into the mystery of one. whose. body is. even today.

a rather important and unusual case the hobby lobby corporation which is owned by a more traditionally oriented christian family has a lawsuit challenging the obamacare mandate that employer provided health care plans have to pay for abortions and contraception this is a tough one which is first sound simple wealthy owners of hobby lobby feel that abortion is murder then they should have to pay for freedom of speech right but then couldn't some other companies say medical care is the devil's work prayer is the only thing you need so we're not going to pay a dime if the supreme court supports this and i think a lot of companies will be making moral stands in order to not pay for things but not on the other hand why is abortion such a critical part of obamacare in the first place i mean have you ever heard of activists protest against people fixing broken legs curren fungal infections or doing laser eye surgery you haven't heard of them because these things are totally acceptable to almost everyone in america so paying for them is part of obamacare isn't a problem it is only a problem taxpayers or hobby lobby has to pay for something that is extremely controversial and considered an act of evil by half the people on the street abortion being legal is one thing but doesn't need to be funded by everyone because
1:29 am
so many people are against it but that's just my opinion. marcus williams was falsely arrested by area three chicago police. sgt ahmed to forty six years in prison. this or been like those old is tough to come and tell my mom was. going to be out there it.

1:32 am
know i don't press reporting once and then. there's the road like oh. my name is tom. and then a third year student there the last member of. my dream is to go to harvard. thinking i don't know if i can do this i don't know if i can be involved and read the horrible things that happen to people. you know. my sanity. i started work working on marx this case kember two thousand nine. hundred ninety nine marcus was charged and convicted of first degree murder
1:33 am
a man by the name of the alcoholic. marcus williams has been through the legal process and so we would say he's it is that in the legal term is procedurally defaulted he really has nowhere to go and the only thing we can do is we can investigate this case and if we think we have weeks we can prove actual innocence then we can file a petition called the petition for post conviction relief based on actual innocence but this is a very very difficult this is very difficult you know we're dealing with again a cold case he's procedurally defaulted in we don't have d.n.a. .
1:34 am
are hired to play against him and her being his sister actually was they came into the center and told us a little bit about marcus services personality and this child i thought he was the funniest person you'll ever know he imitated a lot of people from t.v. over him like james brown he used to dance like james brown and we used to crack up laughing and bottom of the legion. there was ready and he had this low was sparkly ugly boots did he used to wear he was really outgoing he you know had a lot of friends everybody was crazy about him we had. strong relationship is just can a heart when. you know he's in a place that he said and there's nothing i can do about it and i don't i can't i distance myself from him some time because i don't know how to do it to crack. because i don't know how to deal with it but but i'm most part oh that's how to
1:35 am
stay in contact because i know that he need us more than anything than he ever need us before and. i really want to get a sense it was still a little scary and a little intimidating having that phone ringing for the first time i didn't know if you would trust me i'm just at this fandom undergrad it. laughed and closed the door and it was just me and marcus his wrist really willing to tell me about everything. that's just so nice out i felt a little bit guilty asking him about me. but i can assure you that once you visit a client you become honored and it really motivates you to do more thoroughly into the case.
1:36 am
today is a big day we're going to visit back is for the very first time. we have to drive from chicago to this other state. right now we are. just didn't. expect it to be. just to get. us to disagree. right it was my first time residence i wanted a person. it was about four hours of those that's about the longest time in prison
1:37 am
to. get. my a little. bit. my name is. marcus remained with us. on this my case. on the phone with all the lawsuit and all that i want to say i want to put it. i got it. is not a story. is just someone. selling things to people you know that night for the shooting and is not just on a street. with a government and. some politicians it. just not me. it. is frustrating man it is frustrating.
1:38 am
to not be montreal is not the right man is. because this is crucial it's just won't it don't make sense. but this. was an you've been all. not just going to tackle some some doing tonight. i deal with it on every day on every day basis try to hold on. to my history. to stay focused. and not going all. as we move on to we cannot assist all speeches about. your eyes because they have completely changed how i feel about this internship. until now everything has been on paper and albus located at manuel convictions have

a real human face for. duty to. do to eat or to. compete was really a word i should use for describing. to defend him and switch on the dudes yeah it seems kind of strange to me with we're going to have to get their rear view. this isn't that different players who profits really through him to.
1:40 am
even. the best of his defense the people who they chose to bring to the stand and testify and i'm just a little admissions to. need to know. and . how good how the police investigation was conducted in all his his opinion on what steps should have been steps warrant take and what makes it more or less likely that this crime happened in the way it said it happened and are happening. today is january eighth two thousand. and three days on january sixth i went to the home. retired assigned to tend to and clearly the investigation of
1:41 am
a lot of them going to chase them shooting in there to try to win the grazing in the light from now that there was no evidence in the autopsy. sloth's preliminary report it's written by any. still officer ok steve keep those initial reports and he may give this report sort of does of his information to the detectives but i mean for all the none of this is even if you're it but i tell you this is that you should do much better and the city's. please please please take the money very hard to take a plunge again took so long here there's a plane flight patterns that are x.x. would that make their lives. in the political.
1:42 am
system which goes with. it. please. please. please look. at the people. the public. voted by the way to do its job did you know the price is the only industry specifically mentioned in the constitution and chicago that's because a free and open process is critical to our democracy shrek albus. role. in fact the single biggest threat facing our nation today is the corporate takeover of our government and across
1:43 am
a cynical we've been hijacked lying handful of powerful transnational corporations that will profit by destroying what our founding fathers but once will just i'm tom are going to get on this show we reveal the big picture of what's actually going on in the world we go beyond identifying the problem you're trying to fix rational debate and a real discussion of critical issues facing america to find a job ready to join the movement then walk away from the big picture. the clearest order of bronze is about an old woman and george osborne that number a lot of going straight is convincing the old woman that they should be fracking and then the old woman told george jones we need to brag i didn't see any green energy companies then and then george says. we need good pictures of.
1:44 am
the money for the trickle syriac time germany money commies now i am glad hearts. could kind of fairly happen the way it was described in the place reports. he was murdered between nine and ten in the morning and my case was arrested for the crime early in the afternoon just a. hours later. it's very fast and low wondering how the police could be so sure that marcus was the murderer. and why do you big impression you get is that a lot of the details just don't make sense. and we feel like we have to find a different way to understand a case better. than the first things i do is i read every report and then the next
1:45 am
thing i do is a reframe scene because a curious credible questions of people just i don't understand one quarter of all. the way. there was never a status in my government or were not. born it was a really kind of crazy experience for a variable that might mean it seems. to me just like the neighborhood are again where a lot of this took place is relying on what the police reports whom i should say some of the wanton flick this was the corner here of marshfield was of the second. where. the uk market is alleged to have gotten out of the supplier here's the reason for police started to run for lea tyler and team
1:46 am
but they ran through the empty lot. so if you were shot in the alley up here it was lying to me to pop in to try to. fight it becomes a lot more realistic that you're actually standing on the point. where it occurred in the alleyway where catalyst you shot and make sure there was some turn around the screen. there. supposedly about thirteen shots were fired when the atlas team died. how could no bullets be found and thus abandoned not. rule.
1:47 am
to the police come to the scene is going to. go so really apprentice never happened . that you're not the first person who is suggested that i just met the dozen people who looked at this record and said maybe it just didn't happen off at connecticut concepts like this rabbit is. a common problem that it was or would it be more conducive to a body being kept out of the back of the car. alarm that decided to drive back out . ask him a few my question. about good governance that was collected the evidence that wasn't collected and asked him what he saw what about everything and he was able to confirm some of our suspicions . so that it's in the tears would be
1:48 am
a number are it is going to underscore interesting that in the other communities. where there's a problem there because it doesn't sound like the police will be at the scene to really want to pull that evidence you really don't have the ballistic evidence because there's no shell casings found which you have only is testimony for people to say i heard so many shots. the the call to go to the hospital. the hospital they have two victims to seize. they probably have the when this is their. they acquired the name and they pursued the offender in the trench scene was wrapped up in death we know him the stuff just to stay and that's typically done canvases should be done but this is. evidently it's not done because there should be a report that says oh i want to twenty eight forty two three flat apartment i rang each and every bell and i talk to people in the first four second floor wasn't home
1:49 am
and i talked to people the search for what that means you got to go there because nobody was home so he's got to go back again you've got to you have to make the effort this is essential that it be done the overseeing the didn't end up in evidence where the clothing that scalpel if he was wearing the coroner and his autopsy report said that the body was received with a red t. shirt and some boxer shorts but this is february in chicago and certainly could have been wearing more clothing and not when he was murdered where those clothing are we don't know no bullet no clothes and he should have been called to the hospital to recover it and also they should have been sent to the crime scene you know so loose it doesn't fit into that mr dorsey was able to confirm that something went wrong with the police work and that there were a lot of flaws great that's it oh.
1:50 am
my. god oh my. god. the case seems to sting like there's a lot that seems off about it i didn't think it would be. so obvious that there were in errors made are you know missing information and evidence that we're presented with i when i saw it i was just like well it's obvious he isn't guilty. you know we have to sort of decide where our investigation is going to take us and the way i see it he was convicted based on the testimony of an r.l. mahen he was convicted based on the testimony of the cedric farley and he was convicted based on the testimony of the killing stops. at the building and. we need to hear from
1:51 am
a witness who actually testified at trial that you know i lied i testified falsely you know for this reason we need to hear that you need to have a witness feel comfortable putting it on paper because. what we do know though is that r.l. may have did tell people that he lied in the trial against marcus wiggins and that marcus wiggins was not there that day to hear can't he had told marcus ex-girlfriend that he lied and he had told an attorney that he had. one day i was i think i was going to the store or. coming from a store or something like that and he walked up to me he said. hey i'm looking at my. you want to come on there was you took me in he said on the east talks on works as one so i called on a phone and that's all i see i write my hey you want to talk to she i know we were
1:52 am
told you fill us in on what you just want to talk to and let you know see what you can do to help marcus this case because he know that he didn't do it so it's not don't flow out in the day that he was going to go so high in a paper saying that he he testified falsely at this trial he was shot in the mouth and killed. perhaps the most damaging test. money at trial came from this man by the name a setter far away and i think he's key to the case he's such under farley is the one who viewed a lineup and identified marcus wiggins as the shooter and we have not been able to locate him as of this date and so we are going to need the assistance of a a private investigator. my
1:53 am
name is sent to. me i grew up on the southside of chicago. and i was thinking to go to the fairfield address. characters we just hard to jimmy and he is the nephew of cedric so this is the best lead we've had on cedric and it was actually very nice i did a lot of a half truth cynthia. tucker and. i talked the talk to really i told him he was good looking about twenty five times the food but that didn't do it he he doesn't know who the teams are on and he doesn't know who our client in this . subject is coming. as if there is
1:54 am
a afternoon that he never. said so i'll be walking. home. from all the facts and media. for me. to the truth. where are we on trying to locate cedric farley we spoke to a young. a man i would say sixteen seventeen years old maybe his name and maurice and he said cedric farley is because uncle and that he does not live at that home he does not know where cedric charlie lives so that's the last update on the front .
1:55 am
of the stilts. owes a debt to society. i mean with those from. the strokes he said if they do. that those attitude. force and so to see when i told him kelly on the phone jelly say a mark is the same walk as me and i'm so sorry i'm so sorry i had to do it he said but the. detective made me do it in next court date is on the fourteenth because that book. you can tell he's not he's not i think he's out the other way we could catch at the courthouse right right out of court on the fourteenth. floor and so that's the number we call.
